from the weighing-in dept.

eldavojohn writes "Today in a speech the pope denounced human cloning, embryonic stem cell research and artificial insemination, citing them as a violation of 'human dignity.' That said, the pope did 'appreciate and encourage' research on stem cells from non-embryonic cells in the human body. The pope encouraged the Vatican to be a leading voice in the philosophy and discussion of bioethics. 'Church teaching certainly cannot and must not weigh in on every novelty of science, but it has the task to reiterate the great values which are on the line and to propose to faithful and all men of good will ethical-moral principles and direction for new, important questions,' Benedict said."

Please listen to what the Pope is saying!!! I'm Catholic and I strongly believe the Pope is right! He's always right! Humans shouldn't play God. Please listen to the Pope and just stop what you're doing!!:(

Oh sure, accuse someone else of making blanket statements and then come out with this. You can't claim that all Fox News reporters are biased, rating-driven, spittle-faced lunatics just because 99% are.

That brings to mind two versions of an old joke.----A priest, a rabbi, and a lawyer are on the titanic when it strikes an iceberg.The rabbi exclaims "save the children!"The lawyer snarls "fuck the children!"The priest exclaims "no time for that!"----A priest and a rabbi see a homeless child hudddled in a doorway shivering. The rabbi says "oh dear, what should we do for this poor child?"

The priest says "easy, take him home and fuck him!"The rabbi says "out of what?"----PLEASE mod this disgusting comment down! Think of the children!

we have individually chosen to believe (which ought to be in unison with every other Catholic). It is a large organization, but not one based on slavery (like the Borg) but one based on a personal choice.
